Super Bowl champion reveals what part of the college-to-NFL transition doesn’t get talked about enough

Published

Super Bowl champion Steve Beuerlein revealed what part of the transition from college football to the NFL doesn’t get talked about enough.

Beuerlein, 61, said that players anticipate the physical side of the game when they enter the NFL, but not all of what comes mentally.

“I think a lot of players anticipate the physical side of it. Understanding that things just happen a lot faster. The guys are a lot stronger. The mistakes are a lot fewer. The margin for error is much less,” Beuerlein told Fox News Digital in a recent interview.

“Every mistake is magnified. I think players understand that. But I don’t think they have any way to possibly understand the complexity of the game at this level and the time that goes into preparing yourself week after week.”

Beuerlein said that for players to withstand the grind, they need to make strong decisions off the field to build strong habits.

“It’s a long season, and I know the season’s much longer now for college football players than it ever was. But the intensity and the magnitude of each game and the pressure that’s on you to perform and produce at a high level each and every week is much greater at the NFL level,” Beuerlein said.

“And obviously, as you get a little bit older, the toll it takes on your body is much different too. So you’ve got to get yourself into good habits in terms of decisions, your life decisions off the football field, how you take care of yourself, your diet, your nutrition, your exercise routine.”

Rookies would be wise to heed Beuerlein’s advice as he played 14 seasons in the NFL.

He played for the then-Los Angeles Raiders, Dallas Cowboys, Arizona Cardinals, Jacksonville Jaguars, Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos. He was a backup quarterback when the Cowboys won the Super Bowl in 1992.

He made the Pro Bowl with the Panthers in 1999. In 147 games (102 starts), he completed 56.9% of passes for 24,046 yards, with 147 touchdowns and 112 interceptions.

Bo Bichette appears to hit rock bottom after Mets humiliated by Rockies

Published

on

For new Mets third baseman Bo Bichette, it’s not even May and it looks like he’s already regretting his reported three-year, $126 million contract with a team that is off to a 9-19 start.

After Sunday’s doubleheader loss to the Rockies (3-1, 3-0), which completed a three-game sweep, Bichette could be seen sitting in the dugout for several minutes, possibly contemplating what he’s gotten himself into. This Mets team, with the second-highest MLB payroll at $369 million, had just been humiliated by a franchise that lost 119 games a year ago. There’s bottoming out and then there’s where Bichette and this team find themselves.

“Many fans in the announced crowd of 38,155 left after the Rockies took a 3-0 lead in the third inning” of the second game of the doubleheader, the Associated Press reported. 

The early-season struggles have been eating at Bichette. Last week, the two-time All-Star admitted as much.

“We definitely need to reset,” he said prior to the Rockies series. “You can’t put too much pressure on yourself. It’s going to take a full team effort, but I definitely know that I need to play better to help this team start winning some games.”

The results speak for themselves. The Mets have won two out of their last 10 games. 

Fans have rightfully been frustrated with Bichette and this team since opening weekend when they booed the new third baseman after he went 1-for-14 against the Pirates. With the Mets trailing the Braves by 10 1/2 games, the reality is setting in for fans. This season just might be lost, and with Bichette holding an opt-out clause, his days might be numbered.

Would Bichette turn down $42 million in 2027 to stay with this franchise for another season? We’ll soon find out just how much Bo values money over his mental health.

Tom Kean Jr’s prolonged absence puts pressure on House Republicans’ razor-thin majority

Published

on

House Republicans face a critical week for must-pass legislation, but one GOP lawmaker who has tallied dozens of missed votes may not be present.

Rep. Tom Kean Jr., R-N.J., has missed more than a month of votes due to an unspecified health issue. It remains to be seen whether the two-term lawmaker will be absent again this week as the House considers a budget blueprint to fund immigration enforcement and legislation reauthorizing the government’s warrantless surveillance powers.

Kean’s prolonged absence comes as House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., can afford to lose just a handful of votes on party-line legislation given House Republicans’ razor-thin majority.

“He’s expected to be totally fine and back to a full schedule soon,” Harrison Neely, a spokesperson for Kean, told Fox News Digital.

Neely did not specify when Kean plans to resume work or the nature and extent of Kean’s illness.

Kean has missed 50 roll call votes since March 17, amounting to a 100% absence rate, according to GovTrack, a website that monitors congressional absences. He last voted on March 5 — nearly two months ago.

Johnson said Thursday that he spoke to Kean by phone and expects him to make a full recovery.

“He is attending to a personal health matter and expects to be back to 100% very soon,” Johnson said in a statement to Fox News Digital, first obtained by The New York Times. “Tom is one of the most dedicated and hardest-working Members of Congress, and I am grateful for all he does and will continue to do to serve New Jerseyans and our country.”

THESE HOUSE MAVERICKS DEFIED THEIR OWN PARTIES MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE IN 2025

The scrutiny over Kean’s extended absences comes as national Democrats are aggressively targeting his swing seat ahead of November’s midterm elections. The nonpartisan Cook Political Report rates Kean’s re-election contest as a “toss-up.”

Kean fended off Democratic candidate Sue Altman by five points in 2024. Four Democratic challengers are vying in a June primary to unseat him.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) sharply criticized Kean for not disclosing his specific health issue to his constituents.

“New Jersey voters deserve to know where Congressman Kean Jr. is and why he continues to play the stock market while in office,” Eli Cousin, a DCCC spokesman, told Fox News Digital. 

Cousin alluded to a recent NOTUS report that found Kean has continued to make several personal stock trades during his absence from Washington, D.C.

A Kean spokesperson told The New Jersey Globe last year that the congressman’s investments are handled by financial advisors without his involvement. 

Kean’s office has notably continued to post on social media throughout his extended absence from Washington, D.C.

On Wednesday, Kean’s office highlighted that two bills he introduced earlier in this Congress advanced out of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. 

The post did not mention that Kean was not present for the committee markup.

FBI says it knows how shooting suspect slipped through Trump event security, shares when info will be released

Published

The FBI has already “answered” a slew of questions crucial to the probe of the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner shooting, agency Director Kash Patel revealed, telling Fox News the details will be laid out in a forthcoming criminal complaint and shared publicly at a press conference later Monday.

“I received a full briefing yesterday morning from our BAU [Behavioral Analysis Unit],” Patel shared with “Fox & Friends.”

“What that does is not necessarily provide direct evidence to be utilized in court, but it examines what we have collected so far to include emails, social media postings, witness interviews, interviews with people, family, friends and neighbors, so we can provide a complete picture of this individual’s mindset and intent when we make the presentment in court,” he added.

Agents have been working “all weekend” to piece together the information, Patel shared, adding the agency is currently going through and is in the process of finalizing content compiled since the incident.

More specifically, Patel said investigators know when and how the suspect, 31-year-old Cole Thomas Allen of Torrance, California, arrived at the Washington Hilton hotel, how he got down to the area in question and how he was “able to get through security undetected.”

“We have all those questions answered, and that’s why I wanted to present with the [acting] attorney general [Todd Blanche] at the press conference later today, once the magistrate has certified or signed off on the criminal complaint…” Patel said.

“This is something the movies don’t even write about, something like this, this kind of scenario, this kind of tragedy, and thankfully, the quick reaction of law enforcement… we’re gonna be able to present to the world in less than 36 hours almost exactly what happened — this individual’s entire background… who he knew, where he lived, who he was talking to, everything about the firearms, everything about ballistics,” he added.

“As you saw, our evidence response teams were on scene so fast. That is the reason we are going to be able to present to you this material.

Pressed by co-host Lawrence Jones on whether Allen was known and profiled before the incident, Patel deferred to what will soon be disclosed to the public, noting that he is unable to “get ahead” of the Justice Department and the federal magistrate as details are prepared for public release.

“We have answered all those questions, and that’s what we’ve been working towards. America deserves answers. President Trump has committed to transparency and accountability, and what we are doing with the team that the president has assembled is answering those questions in record speed,” he reiterated.
